Ann, do you have photos posted somewhere? I would love to see them. I remember
seeing the Cabildo and Jackson Square when I was young, would love to go visit
especially during a reenactment like this.
Thanks,
Debra

I would like to hear more about this! New Orleans is costume-oriented anyway
with Mardi Gras, so how did others react to the reenactors?
I was there in September on a business trip, and some tour guides, promoters,
and shop salespeople tend to dress in historic, fantasy or goth styles.

I help run our local SCA Equestrian group here in Arizona. We to have had
to deal with a younger generation who prefers the FB, Twitter route. Its
fine for sending out reminders and notifications but finding past
discussions is next to impossible. So for historical purposes we use
Yahoo. Its easy to post to a FB group and Yahoo simultaneously via email.
Both Yahoo and FB allow posting of files, and photos.
It has been said before on this list that many people are specializing in a
period and/or place and there are plenty of lists for those. Even if they
aren't active it is easy to refer people to previous discussions.

I'm not quite that old but there is no way I would ever rejoin
Facebook. I delete my profile back when you still really could - about
three years ago- and it's the best decision I ever made. For those on
FB still, you might want to read this:
http://www.businessinsider.com/10-reasons-to-delete-your-facebook-account-2010-5
There are plenty of other articles by well known publications out there on why
no one should have an FB account.
As
for why this is quite lately, I think part of the problem is that it's
winter - a lot of people are just now getting back from vacations and
this tends to be a "slow" time for costuming. The summer (with Pennsic
and Costume College) and the fall are the busier costuming times. Once
spring rolls around and sewing panic sets in, the list will be more
active again.

I'm still here. I do not have a Facebook account. Every now and then I
think about setting one up, but have not gotten around to it.

As to how others reacted, we got a lot of questions about what was happening
when. I new group, the Louisiana Living History Foundation, has been formed to
manage a living history park with reenactments. (There is the Chalmette
National Battlefield, but for those who don't know, US National Park Service
rules prohibit battle reenactments on park ground, so this alternative site has
been found and is being developed.) I don't think the word about events got out
as well as it could have, though. The last battle was Sunday morning, so we had
to tell people who asked that they missed it, but come next year.
There was also a period ball Saturday night and a victory dinner at Antoine's
Sunday night--both with quite a variety of evening wear, of course.
I presented a program for about 40 reenactors on Wednesday on dress in New
Orleans, 1807-1820. I also led a work bag craft workshop in the reenactor
women's salon on Friday morning and we had a tea in the afternoon.
Best public reactions for us--my husband, Jim, has a chintz tailored morning
gown and waistcoat which he wore with his gray top hat for our second line
parade through the French Quarter Friday night. That got a lot of attention. I
also wore a day dress, spencer, and bonnet when I went to the Cabildo to see
this exhibit on Sunday.
http://www.crt.state.la.us/louisiana-state-museum/exhibits/battle-of-new-orleans/index
Two groups of girls asked about my outfit.
The exhibit has one room on the battle itself, with Andrew Jackson's uniform
coat and two others from the period. The second room is the battle in popular
culture, which includes a Western Costume "British" uniform from the 1957
version of "The Buccaneer." It is Technicolor red with gold cuffs, but
otherwise bears little resemblance to an actual uniform. The exhibit is up
through Jan. 6, 2016.
